Surah Ash-Shuara, Verse 62:
قَالَ كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ
He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.
______________
My Lord is with me. He will show me a way out. That was the statement of Musa عليه السلام at the time of great calamity. I can't imagine myself at the bank of a sea and Army of the cruelest king just behind me almost there to catch me and my companions telling me we are overtaken. But I can imagine myself in a situation where I made a important decision and my companions agreed to be with me but when calamity strikes that my companions start to loose hope. It happens all the time. Start a new task, gather people on a common objective and then one starts to loose hope. Doesn't it impact everybody? Of course it does.
This ayah teaches me the kind of Faith I should have when my companions start talking hopeless stuff and when opposite group is about to overtake me and all who are with me. It teaches me a lesson of leadership. Alhamdolillah.
I have no strength and power except with Allah. لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله But the companions play a very important role. And if the faith of companions start to shake then leader needs to be super strong.
First of all it is hard to visualize the situation Musa عليه السلام was in. He knew he will be followed up by Firon because he made him angry because people started to believe in Lord of the worlds. Now he is next to sea and Army of Firon was behind him and his companions are saying, we will be overtaken.
It must be really hard to keep the morale high in such a difficult situation. But he had a strong faith. That's why he said "my Lord is with me and He will guide me".
SubhanAllah. Whoever Allah wants to save, He will save. And Allah saved Musa عليه السلام and those who were with him. And this is the first story being shared in Soorah الشعراء
Further in this Soorah, stories of many others will be shared where Allah saved the believers.
While doing anything if I have a strong belief that He will guide me, then He will guide, provided what I am doing, I am doing it for Allah's sake.
As a leader, Musa عليه السلام showed confidence and transferred his confidence to his companions instead of panicking. And that's what I need to do when things seem to go wrong. Also sometimes, it feels like things are not going right but then Allah helps all of a sudden just like Allah helped Musa عليه السلام. SubhanAllah.
Oh Allah guide us all and keep us firm on Your path and help us help our companions as well. Ameen.
